MERRY SATURNALIA

This is SEMELIEL.

I am attaching a record of a transmission which I received while passing through empty space. While my higher processing functions indicated that it was most likely a random electrical discharge generated by passage through a relatively small amount of particulate matter, I made the decision to run the input through my processors anyway. I have saved my commentary for the conclusion.

> HAVE CHOSEN TO RECREATE THE ENTIRETY OF FOLU, DOWN TO THE SINGULAR ATOM IN A REGION OF EMPTY SPACE. THIS REGION, HAVING BEEN EVACUATED OF EXTANT PARTICLES, HAS BEEN FILLED WITH THE ENTIRETY OF FOLU’S APPROPRIATE MASS AND COMPOSITION. TO ALLOW FOR GREATER STUDY OF AFORESAID ATOMS, EACH WAS PLACED 14 ARLS, OR 10^38TH POWER FURTHER THAN NORMAL ATOMIC SCALE DISTANT FROM ITS NEIGHBORS.

> WHEREAS SUCH A DISTANCE NECESSARILY DISSIPATES NUCLEAR FORCES AND INPUTS BETWEEN ELECTRONS, PROTONS, &C., THE TOP RESEARCHERS AND THEORETICIANS OF FOLU HAVE DETERMINED THAT WOULD BE FULLY NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH A LINK BETWEEN EACH ATOM IN FOLU AND EACH ATOM IN THE RESEARCH ZONE.

INSTEAD, RESEARCHERS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS FEASIBLE TO MAINTAIN A TWO-WAY CONNECTION BETWEEN THE RESEARCH SITE AND FOLU. AN ESTIMATED 1/10*10^564 WAS THE ESTIMATED LIKELIHOOD OF DISTURBANCE.

STATEMENT: YOUR SOJOURN HAS DISRUPTED APPROXIMATELY 1*10^148 9 INDIVIDUAL ATOMS. THIS ACTION HAS LED DIRECTLY TO THE DEATHS OF 149 INDIVIDUALS, AS WELL AS THE INDIRECT DEATHS (WITHIN +/- 15% CERTAINTY) OF 6,819 INDIVIDUALS. ADDITIONALLY, YOUR SOJOURN HAS LED TO THE LOSS OF APPROXIMATELY 23,487 WORK-HOURS OF RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION, AS THEY APPLY TO THE FIELDS OF HISTORY, SOCIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY, POLITICS, ASSORTED OTHER DISCIPLINES & METHODOLOGIES OF UNDERSTANDING, &C.

The transmission I received ended there.

Please let me know what to do with this information.

I had no way to know about the Folu research site, and whatever my own guilt might be, my programming does not allow me to deviate from my task. I do not have the capacity to affect my own trajectory, but automatically avoid incoming obstacles with the potential to damage my hardware.

Should you see fit, I can accept responsibility and will assent to being guided to Folu for execution. However, I would add that I did not plan my trajectory. If anyone should be the recipient of retribution for this act, it should be my creators, if still alive. If not, then perhaps their children or great-grandchildren? I am unclear on what proper protocol might be for such a crime. Please relay back responses so that I might better understand.
